B) a column of warm, less dense air produces low pressure at the Earth's surface. C) cool air is more dense than warm air so it tends to sink toward the Earth's surface. D) the movement of air within the atmospheric convection cells generates the Earth's major wind belts. E) warm air is less dense than cool air so it tends to sink toward the Earth's surface.
